Crystal structure of the methanosarcina barkeri monomethylamine methyltransferase (MTMB)
Overview
Genes encoding methanogenic methylamine methyltransferases all contain an, in-frame amber (UAG) codon that is read through during translation. We, have identified the UAG-encoded residue in a 1.55 angstrom resolution, structure of the Methanosarcina barkeri monomethylamine methyltransferase, (MtmB). This structure reveals a homohexamer comprised of individual, subunits with a TIM barrel fold. The electron density for the UAG-encoded, residue is distinct from any of the 21 natural amino acids. Instead it, appears consistent with a lysine in amide-linkage to, (4R,5R)-4-substituted-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. We suggest that this amino, acid be named l-pyrrolysine.
